*****ZIGGY-SIZED SPOILERS!***** NBC-Peacock’s rebooted “Quantum Leap” is halfway into its second season now, and the latest episode was another high mark for this enjoyable series, as Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) leaps into an 18-year old Korean-American kid working with his brother in his father’s shoe store at the onset of the Los Angeles Riots…

Quantum Leap’s season one finale, “Judgment Day,” pushes the boundaries of the show’s mythology…
*****ZIGGY-SIZED SPOILERS!***** The first season finale of NBC’s reboot-continuation of “Quantum Leap” has aired, and it greatly expands the mythology of the show by breaking some of its earlier rules (sometimes the best way to fix something is to break it, right?). In a clever nod to “Back to the Future Part 2” (the dark-horse…
Cosplay, Quantum Leap, and the Walking Dead: WonderCon 2023 wraps…
Welcome Back. Once again, WonderCon has returned to Anaheim, California and with COVID restrictions pretty much gone now (though I still wear masks), things feel a bit more back to normal. This year also saw a surprising championing of smaller or lesser-known movies and TV projects than in years’ past. Instead of a DC or…

From Child Star to Battlestar. Despite attending many sci-fi/fantasy conventions over the years, I, sadly, never had the chance to meet the late Dean Stockwell, though I’ve been a fan of his work for decades. The former childhood star, who passed away on November 7th from natural causes, had a career dating back to when…
DisneyPlus’ “Loki” takes a time-traveling leap into Marvel’s mischievous prankster…
Caveats and Chaos. A couple of caveats to this column. First, to my regular readers (I’m grateful for each of you) I want to apologize for the slower influx of fresh content lately. My little house in the ‘burbs has been plagued with a solid month of plumbing/electrical issues, and has only returned to something…
